How To Use Body Double™ FAST SET to Make a Mold of a Head
Step 3: Applying Support Shell
The support shell is built in two pieces with medical grade plaster bandages. Only use medical bandages - other grades will generate too much heat to use safely on a live model. When one half of the support shell has been built, begin on the second.
Mold maker's tip: Brushing a thin coat of petroleum jelly over the Body Double® prior to applying bandages will minimize chances of suction or mechanical locking of support shell.
Use more plaster bandages to add further stability to the support shell. Allow bandages to cure for approximately 15 minutes.
